The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We are a large, close-knit family, and we maintain family ties among us.
The Shaykh:

The questioner:
A large, close-knit family, and we maintain family ties among us, and we attend our occasions without missing any. He says that most of my relatives do not pray.
The Shaykh:
them.
The questioner:
And among them are my close relatives. For seven years, I have been attending with them and advising them by all means, but only a few have responded. Some of them pray at home, and some do not pray. His question is: I am about to get married, and I intend not to invite them to this wedding. I intend not to invite those who abandon prayer, with the aim of disavowing them and boycotting them. Is my action correct? Or what should I do? May Allah grant you success.
